As highlighted above, I returned the unit after a small amount of actual testing. I spoke to Rosen about why I returned (to refresh, primary reasons were (1) that it doesn't integrate the factory backup camera and (2) I couldn't find a way to effectively stuff the added harnesses and boxes from Rosen behind the stereo chassis). Their response was basically that, while they understand my apprehension about the factory backup camera, most of their units are sold to customers who DON'T have navigation from the factory (and thus don't have a factory backup camera, or if they do, it is integrated into the rear-view mirror). Thus, there isn't much motivation for them to figure out how to integrate the video signal from the factory harness into their unit. It's hard for me to know how difficult this task would be, but I just don't see how it is a very big deal.
If the backup camera issue could be resolved (by Rosen or by another aftermarket supplier like PAC), I would try again to figure out a way to get it installed because I really think the features and factory look of the Rosen make it worth the investment.
